Troubleshooting (continued)
Installing Multiple Fans with Independently Operating Remote Controls
Installing One Fan Operating on Multiple Remote Controls
To install multiple fans with independently operating remote controls, there is no need to
perform any pairing procedures. Each set of receiver/transmitter is already paired. Simply
install each receiver into a fan and use the appropriate transmitter to operate each fan.
To have multiple remote controls operate one fan, you must pair each additional transmitter
to the receiver in the fan. The transmitter that shipped with your fan is already paired.
Note: To prevent faulty operation, please disconnect power (at the wall switch,
breaker, or fan) from all other ceiling fans within range while pairing.
If your remote is not working, see the “Remote does not work” section on the previous page.
For each additional transmitter, cycle power to the fan by turning power off and back on at
the wall switch (or circuit breaker if necessary). Within three minutes, press and hold both
the Fan Off button and the 4 button for four seconds to pair the remote. If applicable, the
fan will turn on and the lights will flash and stay on to indicate successful pairing.
Installing Multiple Fans Operating on a Single Remote Control
“Unpairing” Procedure for Faulty Operation of Remote Controls
X
To have multiple fans operated by a single remote control, you must pair the transmitter to each
additional receiver. The receiver that shipped with your fan is already paired to the transmitter.
If a transmitter is mistakenly operating a fan, you need to “unpair” the transmitter from that
fan’s receiver. The “unpairing” procedure is the same as the pairing procedure.
Note: To prevent faulty operation, you MUST disconnect power (at the wall switch,
breaker, or fan) from all other ceiling fans within range while pairing each fan.
Note: To prevent faulty operation, you MUST disconnect power (at the wall switch,
breaker, or fan) from all other ceiling fans within range while “unpairing” a fan.
For each additional fan, ensure that a compatible receiver is installed. Disconnect power from all
other fans while pairing. To pair: cycle power to the fan by turning power off and back on at
the wall switch (or circuit breaker if necessary). Within three minutes, press and hold both
the Fan Off button and the 4 button for four seconds to pair the remote. If applicable, the
fan will turn on and the lights will flash and stay on to indicate successful pairing.
Disconnect power from all other fans while “unpairing.” Then, cycle power to the fan you
wish to “unpair” by turning power off and back on at the wall switch (or circuit breaker
if necessary). Within three minutes, press and hold both the Fan Off button and the 4
button for four seconds to “unpair” the remote. If applicable, the fan will turn off and the
lights will flash and turn off to indicate successful “unpairing.”
